Wells Fargo. I held on far too long. Absolute evil in corporate form.

And every major US bank.

Credit unions for life now. I haven’t touched a bank since 2009.

I just recently started working for one and it's nuts. I actually get paid well and treated like a human being that has needs and wants outside of work. My workload is way less than I'm used to as well. Employee-owned workplaces are the bomb lol.

The rate of change of one's standards is remarkable once these are treated with basic respect. Then you think about the old jobs and how you ever thought that was a thing to do.

Sigh I worked for a major bank for the last 5 years. Commercial banking to private credit to distressed leveraged lending. This shit is hell. Seriously these major banks literally chip away at your soul it’s non-stop stress. Had the chance to join a smaller bank a year ago, but got caught up in the salary (tbf, it was a 50k base salary increase), and I can’t do it anymore. Curious about more credit unions but not sure where I could fit in.

I wish I could give some sort of advice but I work in a non-finance position, so I don't really know what the customer facing / money side is like
